Once Upon A Crime

Well, the suspense group I’ve been wanting to be a part of, for a good year now, is finally created and live.

Once Upon A Crime

I am so excited.  I spent most of last evening and all of last night setting it up and making the header.  Then creating pages for everyone (and figuring how to tweak the template correctly, cause nine names on the navigational bar would NOT work, lol) and sending a very long email detailing what was done, what needs to be done and how to.

Then this morning, others had added to it (after a small snafu), and I’m so excited.  This should be very fun. Yay! :)

Brainstorming

I really, reeeeaaallllly love brainstorming.

There’s something about creating a new group of people, conflict, mystery and romance that gets me so excited.  It makes me giddy and alive.

Today, I worked on the first idea I had for a psychological thriller.  I changed some of it–made it a paranormal (at least for now although it’s not strong) and changed who my villain was.  The original way was simply NOT working.  I tried twice.  This way is better.

I went back and forth between making the heroine a 19 year old, the summer after her freshman year of college or a 17 year old, the summer before senior year.  I ended up choosing the hs student.  There’s more of a vulnerability about someone who isn’t legal yet, still considered a kid, rather than a young adult.  At least in my eyes. ;)

I finished  my character list, and tomorrow I’ll be working on character bios.  I have to say that is my most dreaded part.  I just hate it, but it’s so necessary. lol  Maybe I’ll look for pics too to keep me motivated. :)
